Introduction A previous article, “The High One Hour After-Meal Blood Sugar Test Can Lead to Deadly Diseases,”results from blood sugar levels of more than 155mg/dl or 8.6 mmol/L. I listed them below: Chronic kidney disease Non-alcoholic fatty liver …

This article discusses studies from five countries showing that even trace amounts of lithium decrease all-cause mortality. Decreased all-cause mortality does not mean that you will live forever, but it lowers the chances of dying from any cause. If in case someone develops a heart attack, stroke, or gets into an accident, there is a…
This article discusses how I lowered my one-hour post-prandial or after-meal blood sugar using Tabata training. A blood sugar of more than 155 mg/dl (8.61 mmol/L) one hour after eating has been associated with higher all-cause mortality. It is also predictive of heart attacks, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and kidney failure. If, for some reason,…
The amazing video below shows a 64-year-old man lifting, throwing, and catching heavy stone weights like tennis balls. That was how he cured his ulcerative colitis. Wang Bingrong was an excellent chef in China and worked from morning till night. Initially, his customers asked him to have some drinks with them, which slowly became an…
My left shoulder was aching yesterday, probably from one of my deadlifts, pull-ups, kettlebell press, or push-ups. I tried to look for the cause to prevent it from worsening and improve my technique. I happened to stumble upon Dr. David Middaugh from El Paso Physical Therapy. In his video below, Dr. David said, “Shoulder impingement,…
In my years working in the emergency room, I have seen patients who got injured while doing exercises to get healthier. I’m no exception. Ever since I posted this article, Walk After Meals to Prevent Sky High Blood Sugars, I have been walking on the treadmill for about 20 to 40 minutes daily. However, I developed…
This article is about a study showing that five sets of German Volume Weight Training are as effective as the typical ten sets. German Volume Training (GVT) is a weight-lifting method to increase muscle size without using the heaviest weight you can lift. Larger muscle fibers can consume more glucose while exercising. The downstream effects…
This article presents a study that showed that different exercises could lower blood pressure similarly. The research was made to answer the question. What exercise is the best to lower blood pressure? Is it aerobic or weight lifting, or should they be combined? Forty-two participants, age 54 ± 11 years, with a resting blood pressure (SBP/DBP) of 137 ± 9/86 ± 6 mmHg…
This article discusses the two studies that showed the improvement of kidney functions in those with diabetes who fasted. An estimated 37 million Americans have Chronic kidney disease (CKD)—more than 1 in 7 U.S. adults. Kidney disease is present in about 1 in 3 people with diabetes and 1 in 5 people with high blood…

Yesterday, I published The Carcinogenic Effects of the SARS-CoV-2. I discussed the papers that showed how the SARS-CoV-2 virus could cause cancer. The COVID-19 virus can cause changes in the infected cell’s machinery to use the glycolytic pathway and produce the Warburg effect. The Warburg effect is when cancer cells consume sugar (glucose) for energy. One…
Resistance exercises increase skeletal muscle fiber size and number. That is good for everyone, especially those with obesity or type 2 diabetes. That’s because muscle fibers use more glucose, lowers blood sugar, and control diabetes. Coupled with intermittent fasting, resistance exercises can burn many calories and body fat and produces weight loss. Resistance exercises are…
This article is about a decades-old study that found that adequate hydration and cooler temperatures produce greater ketosis. The topic here is different from dehydration after ketosis happens. The Courtice-Douglas Effect The featured study is The modification of post-exercise ketosis (the Courtice-Douglas effect) by environmental temperature and water balance.[1] The Courtice-Douglas effect is the production…
A study published in Cell Research in July 2022 shows that a high-fat diet can lead to inflammation and possibly colorectal cancer. The study by Deng et al. showed that a high-fat diet increases the leptin receptors and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in the intestinal stem cells (ISC).[1] Leptin is a hormone that regulates…
This article features a study that showed that ketosis could start earlier when high-intensity aerobic exercise is done at the start of fasting. Ketosis is the state the ketone levels are high enough to be an energy source. In times of no caloric intake, glucose gets depleted, and the body starts to convert body fat…
This article presents a study that shows that exercise suppresses the release of the hunger hormone to delay hunger while fasting. The study was presented at the International Journal of Exercise Science conference in 2021. The researchers were from Brigham Young University.
